- Hi,
- just spent the last two days trying to get a Telebit 8840 to work with
- Win95 and Shiva remote dial-in. - Succeeded ! ! !!
-
- For .INF file docu:
-
- 1) the .INF files for modems are in a hidden directory in Windows
- directory. They are mdm*.inf.
- 2) These files generally refer to a group of modems for 1 modem
- manufacturer.
- 3) Most of the stuff in it can be read by studying the .INF files.
- 4) The microsoft developer network CDs - 30 of them ? include a set of
- CDs called the Windows Device Driver Kit. There is a modems directory in
- the DDK for Windows95 CD. This has the full docuentation.
- 5) Also on the DDK CD rom are tools to help write and debug driver
- files. Of great use is the INF file editor. Which simplifies the efforts
- required in supporting a modem.
-
- Hope this helps.
-
- b.t.w. For telebit - download the latest 8840 Bios from
- http://www.telebit.com and download the new .INF file from the same
- site.
-
- b.t.w.2. For Shiva dial-back to work there must be a key in the .INF
- file for the codes Blind_On and Blind_Off.
-
- If you have any more questions let me know.
-
- regards
